I am putting my heart into something new And I have to say that I love the view A panorama of serenity and country ease Promise for as far as the hopeful eye sees With glistening water to the left and right A glimpse into a future, filled with light

The light of change, the light of the new The light of a tomorrow with me and you With all of us together, on any night In the hearts of my family, I find the light

It’s not about religion, or God, or heaven It’s the strength inherent in our group of seven Two pillars to reinforce walls of the essential For five young lives with boundless potential Two who encourage what is morally right And five burgeoning rays of limitless light

Light filled with friends and husbands and wives The light of tomorrow is the light of our livesEveryone feels welcome, on any night In the of strength of this family, I find the light

Rooms filled with our conversations and laughter
Walls that embrace images of before and afterThe warmth of a fire, and a comfortable bed And the life of realities that lies aheadSeeing and feeling and knowing it’s right All of us reflected in this reassuring light

The light of this potential is within our sight The light of tomorrow, expansive and bright Under the moon and the stars, on any night In the warmth of our family, I find this light

The shadow of sadness seems ominousover a life that is ebbing awayHelpless, no matter what I doInsufficient, no matter what I say

When it’s quiet and the door closesand my words have been left behindAll that I take with me is my lonelinessIt’s as if life has robbed me blind

With only self-reflection and memoriesI fill this void, so that I may seeWith tears for now and never forgettingI feel this grief washing over me

Time takes its exacting tollas I struggle to understandI reach out to touch the inevitablewhile you hold my other hand.

Allow vulnerability to concede controlIt’s this inner turmoil that is very realRecognize and accept it for what it isI must suffer, so that I can heal

This harsh reality is a necessary agonyLet it do its work and don’t resistMust not repress, deny or bury my despairI must yield to it, while we co-exist

My hopes are confronted by my despairSorrow that could stretch to any lengthThe future is my next opponentYour support is my source of strength
Time devises its own agendaLife seldom goes as plannedI reach out to grasp for yesterdaywhile you hold my other hand.

There’s a process to repair these lacerationsIt takes time for wounds to mendYou held my hand at the bitter beginning I felt your presence to the better end

A soothing touch on my aching fleshYou hold the pulse of all I am feelingWith the sensation of your hand on mineOne hurting…and the other healing

Scars will show when I have healedJagged confirmation of how and whenReminders of the cruel cuts of lifeYet signs that I am whole again

I feel the grip of your reassuranceRising from my grief, I am able to standI can let go, and motivate my mourningWhile you hold my other hand.
